Description
In December 2001, a new Russian law laying the basis for the peaceful territorial expansion of the Russian Federation went into effect. The entire country of Belarus-as well as parts of Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine-are the most likely candidates to join Russia. Should this largely ethnically-based expansion occur, Russia would grow by more than 20 million people, and the resultant rise in Russian nationalism might encourage further Russian territorial ambitions-especially those directed at Ukraine. Even if Russian expansion stops with all, or part, of these territories, it could breathe new life into the ethnically based border problems of other countries.
Co-published with the American Foreign Policy Council.

In Reviving Greater Russia, author Herman Pirchner, Jr. has compiled an authoritative assessment of neo-imperialistic forces in Russia and their chances of success in Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, and Ukraine. His extensive travel and meticulous research, made possible through the support of the Smith-Richardson Foundation, have yielded a unique, first hand look at the ethnic ties, religious frictions and empirical bonds that continue to influence politics along Russia's borders. It is obligatory reading for all those who seek to understand Russia's policies in its 'near abroad.'
William Schneider Jr., Former Undersecretary of State, From The Foreword
